I definitely wouldn’t tout myself as a wine expert, but I’m quite familiar with different types of wines and brands. And French wines are just the best in the world. I do know that!

I first introduced you to the somMailier Wine Club back in February (read all about it here) and I am so excited to share a promo code with you today (grab the code at the end of the post) and tell you about their white wines and their rosè this time.

I really enjoy being apart of a wine club because it’s such a great way to taste new wines and expand your knowledge. If you consider yourself a bit of a sommelier and would like to discover some new blends — your favorite red seems a bit too sweet nowadays — or maybe you’re just looking for a no-hassle way to up your reserves, a wine club may be for you. There are so many things to consider especially as we approach the holiday entertaining season! It’s truly my favorite time of year but hosting a dinner party is difficult enough. Between entertaining guests and preparing food, picking a wine pairing can be an intimidating process.

Since I intermittent fast on the weekdays..I really look forward to a pancake breakfast for dinner or as I like to say “BRINNER”.

Eggs or toast can be equally satisfying, but there’s something inherently special about pancakes. And these summery peach hotcakes are super flavorful, especially when you have good peaches from The Farmer’s Market.

Brisket Enchiladas are a spicy comfort food meal that is easy to prepare. Brisket Enchiladas are made with spicy shredded slow-cooked brisket that is rolled up in tortillas with cheese and onions and then topped with red chile sauce and more cheese. Simply irresistible!! Of course you can make them with chicken or ground beef but I find brisket is a little more creative and tasty.

As you know, food is a big thing in my life – it is practically my life. One of the undeniably best places to eat in the world is right at home. And for ‘just a home cook like me’ knives hold a special mystery when it comes to chefs and the art of cooking. Knives are the most important and personal part of a chef”s tool kit. So much so that chefs take their knives with them from job-to-job like a photographer would their camera.

With fascination, I’ve watched chefs carefully, lovingly and with respect unwrap their knives from their knife rolls. So captivated by this…always.

Let’s make a creamy lemon zucchini pasta with whipped goat’s cheese and fresh basil. ( my pasta may not be the most beautiful but it was so delish)
